A warm sea breeze carries dust and coconut-scented air as the day opens in northern Jamaica. You kick a helmet into place, feel the ATV rumble beneath you and watch the coastal hills roll by — then slow for a quieter stretch on horseback, mane and breeze moving in opposite rhythms. The last leg drifts you down a calm river on a traditional raft, guided by a local captain whose pole taps a steady beat.
